The rumors linking Gosling to Black Panther are a little bit more difficult to explain. It all started with a meme of Gosling's photoshopped face in Black Panther's body. While it clearly wasn't serious, the comic books have taken an interesting turn, with the first issue of " Marvel Knights: The World to Come " introducing a new Black Panther.

Few movie studios are quite as secretive as Marvel. The MCU is a major franchise, and the attempts to keep spoilers from leaking are quite significant. This made it more than a little wild when Denzel Washington just came out and said he would be in Black Panther 3, a movie that Marvel had never even confirmed it was making.

Ryan Coogler opens up about his desire to cast Denzel Washington in Black Panther 3, confirming there's a role for the actor in the film.
